The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast.
Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea.
The artist formerly known as Prince Charles,
they're calling him online, he was made king.
The king's coronation, it was huge, right around the world.
In Britain alone, 14 million people watch it,
I was reading over the weekend.
And Laura McGoldrick from Brad and Laura in the afternoons
here on The Hits, she is the biggest royal fan.
She's been wanting to go over there for like 12 months.
She's been saying to the bosses, we need to all be over there.
I need to be over there.
And we thought it'd be funny to pretend that the two of us got sent over there.
And you would have seen it on social media,
us pretending we were over there for the last few days.
Yeah, a lot of cinematic trickery.
Peter Jackson-like,ika we uh we employed his
services as well to pull this off and something was just a little bit if you were following uh
the social media accounts just a little bit off about the photos time to time it was yeah but
then we had people in the uk sending us photos back i know wonderful footage that kind of
made you go are they there yeah and footage around
town and places like english pubs that we would actually go to and black cabs and things like
that so it looked like oh actually maybe these guys are there yeah uh to be honest we couldn't
care less about the king's coronation but jeez we've given it a lot of airtime we have uh yeah
so this was the whole journey uh we we got a few people in the trust tree, you, because the joke was on Laura,
but we couldn't keep saying it because we didn't want Laura to find out.
But here is her reaction to how it all played out.
It was history in the making as King Charlie officially got his new bling.
The moment of crony has arrived.
But our story starts earlier in the week.
Our resident royal
fanatic, Laura McGoldrick,
was delivered some crushing news.
They're sending Jono and Ben to
cover the coronation.
You're joking. Yeah, right.
Jono and Ben don't even like the royals. No, no.
But Jono and Ben and the rest
of Aotearoa had the nation's
secret. We thought it would be
funny to pretend that our show is going to be there.
We're going to say we're going to be live from London.
We'll put all this stuff out on social media.
That'll all be a fake.
That Laura will hopefully be, why didn't I get to go?
What would you possibly send to people who know nothing about the royals
or even care about the fact that this is happening?
It literally makes no sense at all.
She was stoked.
Well, it's just one of those things that you know nothing about the royals and I am a Royalist, and in fact you call me for your information on the Royals.
It just feels a little off.
Which one's Charles again?
Yeah, those jokes will not be tolerated here.
Tensions are at an all-time high between the breakfast show
and the afternoon show at the moment here on the Hilton.
I've got a real problem with the fact they know nothing.
In fact, they enjoy the fact that they know nothing.
They're not even fans of the Royals.
And today, John and Ben, they had the audacity to ring me
and ask me what they should ask people once they get over there.
Then it got elaborate.
Green screens, Photoshop, set-up calls.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're heading off after the show today for the Kings of Coronation.
We'll be live in London tomorrow.
We just arrived.
It was a quick trip from the airport.
Got changed in the back of a black cab.
We spoke to our cabbie, Carl.
I would definitely get yourself to a football match if you can.
And we thought we'd try some food that we haven't experienced before.
We've got jammy dodgers, got yorkies, iron brew.
You've got to just try everything.
John Owen Band, live from the prestigious British Podcasting Corporation in London.
How good.
I was just a bit worried about you guys coming into the BBC in terms of, you know, it is the BBC and you're not used to too much riffraff.
But I'm pleased to see you've polished yourselves up for the British experience.
And then we revealed it all.
To be honest, Laura, it was kind of boring.
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't probably go again to another coronation, but hey, Laura, it was kind of boring. Yeah, I mean,
I wouldn't probably go again
to another coronation,
but hey, we were there,
part of history.
Okay, honestly,
this makes me so,
I literally don't want
to talk to you.
The disrespect for the occasion.
Yeah, hey, actually,
Laura, sorry,
we're just at Heathrow,
so we've got to board
the plane.
Great, yeah, you do that.
Just one second,
one second, one second.
Okay.
And look.
We're home!
We're home!
We're home!
We're not actually in London.
Oh my God, you're still doing the dance?
We've been here the whole time.
It's a very elaborate thing that we've done.
You guys suck!
You guys suck so bad.
Oh my God.
We brought you something.
Yeah, this is actually from New Zealand, though.
We didn't go to London. It's a King Charles bobblehead. You're still Queen of the Hits. We bought you something. Yeah, this is actually from New Zealand, though. We didn't go to London.
It's a King Charles bobblehead.
You're still queen of the hits.
We love you, Laura.
Oh, she's good sport, Laura McGoldrick.
We were quite nervous going in yesterday, weren't we?
Yeah.
More nervous than Harry walking into the family lounge for the coronation.
There'll be a video up in the next day or so of a whole behind the scenes of how we pulled it all together.
The King's coronation
over the weekend. It was huge
and one of my favourite moments was
a policeman in the UK
who actually video
bombed a cross on One News. He
came over and said, Kia ora, always blow on the pie.
Have a listen.
Sorry, do you have something you want to say to us?
Kia ora.
Blow on the pie. I just wanted to try and get on as many foreign news channels as I could today.
How many have you been on?
Can you list them?
I've managed to get on German, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Australian,
and now New Zealand.
Yeah, so pretty cool.
I mean, maybe you should focus a little more on his job.
How about you go and arrest some people, mate?
I can hear the radio in the background going,
we've got an offender, we've got an offender.
By the time for that, I'm doing a live cross in New Zealand.
But the King's Coronation was huge,
watched by millions around the world.
And we pretended, as you would have heard before,
just to trick Laura, who works here at the Hits,
loves the Royals, that we'd gone over there.
And it was, you know, we did it through some green screenshots
where we'd Photoshop ourselves.
We also got some English voices on the radio.
And we also went around locations like a pub,
a phone booth, a black cab, things like that.
We went into the Air New Zealand offices
and sat in their demo plane seats to pretend we're on a plane.
Yeah, they've just got three seats in the office.
But it looked like we're on a plane. As soon as you put that three seats in the office, but it looked like we're on a plane.
As soon as you put that on social media,
like, oh, they're playing.
Why would you not believe it?
Now, the only victim in this prank was Laura McGoldrick
and producer Joel, who had to learn Photoshop.
But yes, those are the two victims.
Oh, but my parents.
You're in London, you dummy, you're in London.
And like, so many people were right around.
I mean, obviously, you know, the people here and the Hitsfano,
we kind of let you in on it, but we couldn't
say too many times. So if you missed it the first
couple of times, we could talk about it when Laura was in
a meeting. You might have been fooled by it as
well. Yeah, and it's so easy to do
on social media, isn't it? So
easy to give off appearances
that you are living your
best life, Ben. When you're not. Although
there was a few people that would go,
you guys are faking it.
Look, there's a New Zealand license plate.
And then you reply back privately and go, yeah, we are.
It's a joke on Laura McGoldrick.
They'd go, ah, classic.
So there's definitely people that didn't fall for it.
Yeah, my son was analyzing every photo.
He was just sort of critiquing Joel's sloppy Photoshop work in parts.
Some of them were like, chuck another filter on it.
It doesn't look legit.
I've got nine different filters on it.
Ben's got bunny ears on.
I've got Elton John star sunglasses.
Give it more filters.
It looks really staged.
We actually spoke to Antti, who's someone we speak with every week in Hollywood, and
got talking about how in Los Angeles in particular, there is a business of faking lives.
You can go to a private plane plane take a photo on a private plane
as if you're traveling you can rent a mansion by the hour and pretend that's your house just fake
everything's fake yeah i always tell people if you look at somebody's instagram and everything
in their life seems perfect it probably isn't but i think that people who growing up in an instagram
age they think,
oh, look what this person's doing. Or they look at the person's TikTok and they go,
look how happy they are. Look how perfect they are. Look how gorgeous their house is. Look how
gorgeous their backyard is. Look how gorgeous they are. And then, you know, it's filters,
it's Instagram, it's fake houses. It's just trying to sell something that doesn't really exist.
And I think that it makes people
sometimes feel bad about themselves
when they really should.
There you go.
That's a great life lesson to take away, isn't it?
That these people's lives
are just as bleak and miserable as yours.
Well, they might not be.
I'm sure people are actually going to the Academy Awards
or the Met Gala and stuff like that.
But there are some instances that they're not always perfect.
That's a real message I found.
And also the other thing I also discovered is people just kind of just flick through social media.
Most people just kind of go, oh, yeah, I'll give that a like, whatever.
You're not deep diving as much as we thought people would be doing.
And over a whole weekend, I'd never answer so many questions about, I thought you were meant to be in London.
It rattles people. People are like about I thought you were meant to be in London it rattles people
people are like
how did you get
back to work
the timeline
doesn't stack up
don't think about
it too hard
but yes what
started out as
a bit of tomfoolery
being on the
station trying to
trick Laura
ended up with a
heartfelt lesson
learned by us
we've all kind of
learned that not
everything you see
on social media is
the full reflection
of what's going on.
So yeah, very important.
But all of Ben's influencer posts, damn right, they are real.
That's right.
They are real.
He's pointing at a bag of rice.
You better buy that rice because I'm 100% behind it, that's for sure.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Over the weekend, I went into some shopping with my daughter,
Andy, 11 years old.
She's at that stage.
Both my daughters now, they've gone through that.
They're past the toy shop stage.
They're past there.
They're into the ram raiding, the vaping.
You know, the next phase of childhood.
Well, yeah, they're also into the clothing stores
and the beauty shops as well.
I don't really offer much other than support and transport.
That's my main two things.
I kind of come around.
I'm not knowledgeable in that regard,
but I just come along.
I like hanging out with her
and it's fun.
She wanted to go into...
You like seeing
all the cool makeup chicks, eh?
No.
When you walk into the Sephora.
I was going in there
with my daughter.
I was going in there
with my daughter.
Go see the Sephora, babe.
She wanted to go in
and get a moisturizer.
She was like,
she'd saved up her money
and she wanted to get a moisturizer.
She'd seen a moisturizer
on TikTok.
You know how they see
everything on TikTok.
She's like,
I want to go into the store
and get this moisturizer
or have a look at it.
And then we got in there in this pottle, and even for a small pottle it was
very very expensive
I was like, well maybe we could get
something similar to this, even though it's your money
it's probably quite expensive, let's get something
else, and so she went to
pick up the pottle, we were going to take it over to one of the
ladies to say, hey can we get
a recommendation on something similar
she grabbed it at my daughter
and the whole pottle from underneath the tester pottle hit the floor the lid remained in her hand
because it hadn't been screwed on properly huge mess like a massive mess who's this on well it's
on us i'm trying i'm saying as a team as a team you're taking this well yeah i was like it was
mainly in you know but it's but it was on us. So I'm like trying to find, you know, some tissues and clean it up.
So it's all spread over the floor, this moisturizer.
A lovely lady who was working at the store came over.
She's like, it's fine.
It's fine.
I'll help you clean it up.
Slippery conditions too underfoot.
Yeah, moisturiser.
I was like, no, I'll help out.
And I'm trying to do my bit as well.
And we cleaned it all up.
And I was like, oh, sorry about that.
She goes, it's all good.
It happens all the time.
Then she walked away.
And then I went, oh, we didn't actually talk to her it's all good. It happens all the time. Then she walked away and then I went,
oh, we didn't actually talk to her about what we wanted to do.
So I grabbed another puddle,
but my hands were very moisturized at that time.
Very greasy, yeah.
And I, two for two.
Like this one all on me.
This was 100% me.
This one, not a tester, just on the floor.
And yeah, another mess as well.
And I'm like, oh my goodness.
For a guy who said the moisturizer's too expensive, he's surely biffing them all over the floor. I know mess as well and I'm like oh my goodness for a guy who said the moisturiser's too expensive
he's surely biffing them
all over the floor
for a bit of a laugh
that's what I thought
so I was like
afterwards I was like
we've got to buy something
at the store
we didn't buy that moisturiser
that was too expensive
but the lady came back
and cleaned it up
twice
I was like oh
although yesterday
you made up for it
we go across the road
to scratch
and we get a coffee
every morning.
We're walking outside.
A pot plant had fallen over.
So the dirt from the pot plant was all over the concrete.
I walk out.
Producer B hubs on his hands and knees, scooping it up with his hands, the dirt.
Then I see you're like, well, I better get down on my hands and knees, scoop it up with the dirt.
And I'm like, well, I'm going to look like an idiot if I'm not on my hands and knees,
scooping up dirt off the concrete.
So then all three of us
were doing it with our hands.
But it looked like we had knocked it over.
And then we were putting it back in the pot and I'm like, oh my hands
are covered in
garden dirt.
We could have just stepped over and ignored it.
We could have. I think some other people had but we didn't.
I don't know what the moral of the story is.
I was like, what are you doing?
I was like, we're all trying to pretend like we're good people.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
A friend of mine, she was talking to me over the weekend.
And yeah, she's been married for many, many, many years.
And she was saying that the start of her relationship,
she pretended because she knew that her partner
and hoping that she was going to be with him for a while
was really into rugby. She was like, I pretended I was into rugby.
So much so that I even got tickets. I think they even went to an Australian Bledisloe game. She
bought tickets, surprise, look like the dream girlfriend. She was like, it's great work. They'll
be married many years. They've got kids, but she's like, I've never gone to a rugby game with him
since. And to be honest, I hate rugby.
I would never watch it on TV with him now.
So it's quite funny what you do at the start of the relationship.
You're like, hey, that's what I'm into because you're into it.
You kind of almost be.
We all probably have done it.
Yeah, it's one out of the playbook, isn't it? Not the rugby playbook.
No.
It's a classic one.
But the problem is when you go and say, I'm into this thing, sport, whatever,
then you really
have to study up on the current
players, the line-up, all of the intricate
details of the sport.
You're right, get enough information so you don't sound like
an idiot in conversation. A lot of book work
required. It's good to probably say
hey look, I'd like to give it a go
and find out more about it than
Yeah, another mate of ours
she pretended to be into hard rock and heavy metal
to try and win over the man of her dreams.
And so she was going along to all these
scungy rock and roll gigs
in deep, dark dungeons
surrounded by practicing Satanists
and things like that.
Hating it.
Hating it.
It took her three and a half years
into the relationship to say,
listen, I love the Spice Girls.
I love NSYNC.
Take me to Taylor Swift, I'll be happy.
I love R. Kelly.
Maybe not nowadays, then, back then.
Had some bangers back in the day.
And so she had to come clean three and a half years in.
But that is a good commitment, isn't it?
To keep up the facade.
So I imagine it would have happened quite a lot out there.
So we thought we'd throw it out there this morning.
Oh, under the hits.
4-4-8-7.
We got some tickets to Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, the new movie.
And I will share how I lied when I was trying to court my fair lady.
She's wearing a wig for the first three months.
See what happened?
Long, long.
Long, luscious locks.
Some pretty severe hair loss over a weekend.
Just thought I'd shave it off, you know something, yeah.
But Ben, you shared a wonderful story about your friend.
She lied at the beginning of their relationship About her passion for rugby
The nation's sport
Yeah, she was like
She said that at the start of the relationship
Because she knew that her
Partner was into rugby
She was like, I love rugby
And she went to the trouble of booking
A weekend away to watch the Bledisloe Cup
And you know, that's
Her commitment to the lie.
Very expensive commitment.
It was a huge commitment, but, hey, it paid off in different ways.
And she hasn't been to a game since.
She hasn't watched a game since with him.
When I, as I mentioned before, when I was laying the foundations,
the building blocks for my marriage here, Ben,
first met Jennifer, and I read on the internet
that scars impressed people.
Okay?
So I have a scar on my back,
and I alluded to the fact that maybe the scar came about through nefarious purposes.
So, you know, maybe a shanking, underground cage fighting incident.
Oh, something like that, right.
Street gang warfare.
Yeah.
I didn't say either way, because she said, where did you get that scar gang warfare yeah i didn't say either way because she's like where did you get that scar from and i didn't say
either way well how did you allude to i was just like don't worry don't talk don't well how did
you do a huge boat and like i used leap to go oh yeah she's thinking in her mind oh yeah it's
gang it's gang related or something warfare unless you dropped in gang related she wouldn't have
but like fun gangs like you know the dancing ones
Who are the dancing ones? The New York?
The gangs in New York
But in reality it was something
Far more dangerous than gang warfare Ben
It was the potential of melanoma
You got a mole cut out
Alright let's see if she calls and texts
Does anyone else lie
At the start of their relationship on their resume
Sammy you're on from the Waikato.
Welcome.
Hello.
Hello.
You've been lying.
You've been lying to your partner.
I have, and it worked, which is the bad part.
What was it?
Yeah, quite similar to Ben's friend story,
but at the start of my relationship,
I knew my partner was really into the NRL,
and so I used to sit with my flatmate, and I would text
my partner exactly what my
flatmate was saying, so if he was like, oh yeah, this is a
good one, or if he would say something about
a specific player, I would just text that
to my partner so it sounded like I knew what I was talking about.
That's awesome.
You're like, Johnson's hitting it up the middle
of this today.
Getting some good yards.
Wow, you really know your NRL.
That's awesome.
Are you into it now?
No.
When did your NRL knowledge
unravel?
I would say probably when we moved in
together, like a year or so ago.
I'd say that would have been, I can't actually remember
when he found out, but I'd say it must
have been around then.
We're going to send you along to Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. I'd say that would have been, I can't actually remember when he found out, but I'd say it must have been around then. Oh, that's so good.
Now we're going to send you along to Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
Do you like that?
You can pretend to like that.
I'll send you some texts.
It's a really good movie.
It's good.
I'll send you texts throughout the movie.
Don't worry.
Keep you updated.
Thank you so much.
Good on you, mate.
Sammy, next we're going to talk to a relationship expert.
Is it okay to lie?
Yeah.
Is it okay to lie deep into your relationship as well?
Can't you just keep lying?
Some people do.
We'll find out if that's okay for a healthy relationship.
Maybe we all know the answers.
What's got into lying in your relationships, particularly the beginning where you're trying to look cool?
Great text here, 4487.
My nana, who's now passed away at age 92 She lied to my grandad for years For over 70 years
About her love of deep sea sailing
Which took her on many a nautical adventure
She hated it, didn't she?
Hated it, got seasick
Never said a word
And they only discovered at the funeral
That she wasn't into sailing
But it's okay to do it and they only discovered at the funeral that she wasn't into sailing. Oh, wow.
But it's okay to do it.
We've got a relationship expert on the phone right now, Tess James.
Good morning.
It's Tess James from tessjames.co.nz.
That's your website.
That's right, yeah.
Not your birth name.
Not my birth name.
No, someone wise told me they said always have your name for your website,
so I went with that one.
It works well.
Speaking of things that may or may not, though, work well, relationships, you obviously offer relationship advice.
At the start of a relationship, is it okay to pretend to be into something that maybe you're not into, just to kind of woo your partner, to look like someone you're maybe not?
Yeah, I love that question.
Are you talking from both sides, like a woman or a man or, you know, both?
Well, the scenario it came from was my friend, she was saying in the weekend that when they
first started their relationship, she pretended to be into rugby.
She was like, oh, I love rugby, because she knew that her partner, you know, that they
just got together, was into rugby.
She even bought tickets to the Bledisloe Cup.
She's like, I look like the dream girlfriend.
Since then, she's never gone to another rugby game
and won't even watch rugby.
That's how much she hates it.
Yeah, look, no, that is really challenging
because then you've got to keep up the facade
and that takes a lot of energy.
And that gets in the way of receiving
and it gets in the way of love
because you're pretending to be someone else.
And yeah, I've done that myself. Yeah, I did it years ago it didn't work out what did you pretend did you
pretend that you were a rugby enthusiast I did I pretend I was a rugby enthusiast and it turned
out I wasn't and so how do you like how do you drop the the bombshell that you're like I've just
been completely lying that I love rugby yeah Yeah, you can get really vulnerable.
That's an intimacy skill which I've learned in my training.
It's about saying exactly that.
Hey, I've got something to confess.
I was pretending.
Or you could just start doing it this way.
You could just say, hey, I love watching you go to rugby
and I'm going to stay at home and have a spa or something like that.
You know, get in touch with your own desires.
Yeah.
That's a lot better.
You know how much I love rugby, but I thought you go, you enjoy it,
and I'll do some.
Yeah, that's a great play as well.
So you're saying people tell white lies at the beginning of relationships
to keep up appearances.
Is it okay to lie deep into the relationship?
Like maybe my cooking's not up to scratch and i feel the family are putting on a brave face when i provide a meal yeah yeah well
look i i think you know saying something that feels like it takes a lot of energy to to hold
and and keep hidden i think it gets in the way of having fun and laughter.
What did you say about the cooking?
That they're pretending that they love your cooking
or you're pretending that you love cooking?
Well, I make French toast and I put cheese on it and I like it.
I like it.
But it's a bit of a sweet-savoury combo.
So you're saying it's best if they're like,
this tastes like absolute garbage.
Well, if they're saying that your
toast, your French toast
with cheese on it tastes like
absolute garbage, well, hey, you know
what? There's a saying, and it goes
like this, and it says, you know,
if you can't handle the truth...
Get out of the kitchen.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, if you can have
fun with it and go, yeah, it's not the best, is it? But I love it. Hey, I love dipping my crust in my coffee, and a lot of people think, well, that's all right. You know, you can have fun with it and go,
yeah, it's not the best, is it?
But I love it.
Hey, I love dipping my crust in my coffee.
A lot of people think, yeah, that's gross.
What are you dipping in your coffee, sorry?
A crust of, like, a toast or something.
Yeah, crust of bread.
Yeah, crusty bread.
Do you have coffee bread?
Yeah, don't tell anyone, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Good thing no one listens to this radio show.
What's your thoughts on Young radio producers
Who lied on their resume
And maybe said that they could do a whole lot of stuff
And we're finding out that they can't
Hypothetical situation John
Aren't you saying about someone in particular
Let's call him Joel
I can do all this
I can do spreadsheets and all this stuff
And we're finding out he can't
Yeah look that happens doesn't it But it sounds like he can do lots of other things this stuff, and we're finding out he can't. Yeah, look, that happens, doesn't it?
But it sounds like he can do lots of other things,
so it's like he's kind of making up for it.
Oh, jeez, you're
lovely, Tess. You are lovely. You're not
going to bag anyone, are you? We're trying our best.
TessJames at TessJames.com.
Sorry, lovely to talk to you. Thank you so much
for your advice this morning. Thank you, guys.
It's brilliant.
We got talking to a guy yesterday who works in the social media industry so his job is to take clients put them
on social media and you know provide content for their social media platforms facebook tiktok
he then says to us whispers looks both left left and right Wanted to see who was listening
And he's like, but I will never
Be on social media
Maybe when you know all the ins and outs
There was that documentary on Netflix
A lot of people talking about the
Social media, a lot of it bad
And a lot of people who set up
All their original social media
They're like, we'll never do it
We'll never be on it. Never let the kids do it.
Yeah, so it's interesting. Just frightening to think
of. Yeah, so you created this.
You're a part of creating this whole thing.
So it's interesting, yeah.
I know, and the
AI is starting to weird me out.
All the intelligence.
The advanced
intelligence.
Artificial intelligence, yeah.
Artificial there.
It's advanced though, you're right.
I knew the A stood for something.
It's very advanced.
I sent you a video, didn't I, over Instagram in China.
China, they've got these electronic bands around the students' heads.
Okay?
Now, these bands are measuring how engaged the kids are.
Are they focused? Are they are. Are they focused?
Are they talking?
Are they distracted?
And then all of that information is being beamed directly to the teacher's computer
and also to an app on their parents' phones.
See, I watched this and I was also horrified,
but now I'm having fake that we're in London for a few days.
I'm like, well, this could be clearly a fake.
No, you're right.
So it could be. It could be all people fake. No, you're right. So it could be.
It could be all people like.
People like me, Joe Rogan.
China's coming to get us.
The communists are coming.
This is flying into this whole conspiracy theory out there.
No, you're dead right.
It could be, but I'm not saying it is.
But I'm just like, hang on, this might be totally fake.
But you didn't do any digging on it.
No, I didn't.
I've just spouted it off on the radio.
So what we want to do is open up the non-participation awards.
What do you refuse to participate in?
It could be a sport.
It could be a chore at home.
And maybe it's something that you like yourself, Jono.
You don't listen to the radio out of the studio.
No, I don't.
And it's not that I don't love radio.
I love radio, but I don't... But not enough that I don't love radio I love radio But I don't
But not enough
To listen to anything
But what you say
No
For anxiety
It's just what
Only radio he wants us to do
Is the radio that he talks
Out there
Right now
The best
The best kind of radio
Eh
Radio out of my mouth
Jeez
Spouting off propaganda
About things that
They don't drive home
And listening to me
Saying stuff from earlier
In the day.
Oh, God.
Handing out non-participation awards after we met someone who works in social media
but refuses to be on social media.
I spouted off some nonsense about the Chinese students wearing electronic headbands.
Might be true.
Might be legit.
But from four years ago, too.
Oh, yeah.
So they're well advanced now.
Well advanced. Mind you, we've all got the chip in us. Oh, yeah, so they're well advanced now. Well advanced.
Mind you, we've all got the chip in us from the vaccine anyway,
so it doesn't really matter.
Non-participation awards.
We know you, Joe Rogan, can't team up, mate.
Most paranoid show on radio.
Let's go to Michelle.
What are you not participating in?
I don't participate in eating meat.
Oh, yeah, fair enough.
My wife's like that.
Yeah, well, I mean, I grew up in a family that are farmers.
You know, we're farmers.
I'm from South Africa, so very much meat eating.
Built on.
Built on, yeah.
Yes, built on.
And four years ago, I had a bit of a health scare,
and the doctor was like, we need to put you on more pills.
I'm like, well, maybe let's try something
else. So I went and
came up with
just going vegan and that was four
years ago. So I cook meat for my family.
But you don't participate in it.
Oh, well, that's good, Michelle.
I don't. Well, it's worked out well for
me and my family.
They're happy to have me healthy and they
can still enjoy their traditional meal.
Oh, good on you, Michelle.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
You sound like you need to go and have a bit of a lie down due to lack of iron.
I'll let you go and have a little sleep.
There you go.
Well, you and Joe Rogan take your meat-eating agenda elsewhere else, all right?
Hey, Warren, what are you not participating in?
I don't drink beer.
I never have.
I don't see the point. I think it's a waste of space and time. Don't drink beer. I never have. I don't see the point. I think
it's a waste of space and time.
The point is to get wasted, mate.
Nah, there's better alcohols
out there, man.
Doesn't drink beer? Interesting. Never had one.
Never had one. The most
I've ever done is tasted a stout
that I was cooking with.
Oh, a stout. You've really jumped from
zero to a hundred there, haven't you?
But I haven't even been curious
for a little sip, no?
No, don't see the point in it.
Okay, good on you, Warren.
It's great.
